About Caller Identification

Caller ID with Call Waiting features inthis telephone let you see who’s callingbefore you answer the phone, evenwhen you’re on another call. Thesefeatures require services provided byyour local telephone company.

Contact your telephone serviceprovider if:

• You have both Caller ID and CallWaiting, but as separate services(you may need combined service)

• You have only Caller ID service, oronly Call Waiting service

• You don’t subscribe to any CallerID or Call Waiting services.

You can use this phone with regularCaller ID service, and you can use itsother features without subscribing toeither Caller ID or combined Caller IDwith Call Waiting service. There maybe fees for these services, and theymay not be available in all areas.

Caller ID features will work only ifboth you and the caller are in areasoffering Caller ID service, and if bothtelephone companies use compatibleequipment.

See Caller ID Operation, beginning onpage 20, for more details about howthese features work.
